[Ducks DVM]

Well, that was a great shot

 

[Paul4587]

Manson is one of the few who’ve had a poor game

Poor game and poor past month in general. That worries me.

 

[mightyquack]

Perry is a really underrated playmaker.

34 assists last season, on pace for about 37 this season. He's not the goalscorer he once was, but have to be a decent player to get those sort of assist numbers.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Not playing Columbus.

True, but they’ve certainly played crap teams before and never looked this good.

Likes to crash the net. Goalies still hate playing against him I guarantee it

This is true. Columbus is almost a playoff team though so maybe they took them seriously?

 

[branmuffin17]

Why does Ritchie always have a look on his face like he's completely lost out there? XD

 

[Duck Off]

Poor game and poor past month in general. That worries me.

Yeah it’s one thing for him to look bad when baby sitting a rookie, but another when he’s paired with Hampus (who hasn’t been great either) and looks like ass.

If you knew nothing about his contract, just saw a 15-20 goal, 50-60 point guy who spends his life at the opponent's net and annoying the other team, you'd think talk of him being "done" was bugf*** crazy.

Seems like players step up when big names are out. It’s why we get hope when team gets healthy but then we lose the urgency

 

[Exit Dose]

This was one of the funnest periods that I've watched from this team. Even if they flame out, I'll take that over the drag it was in the first half.

 

[Paul4587]

Good win. Fowler and Lindholm had great games. Montour and Rakell good too. And the second line looked it’s best all year.

I have a theory that the Ducks organization put him on ADD medicine to help keep him from going off the rails and terrorizing the league

 

[Static]

Really enjoyed the emotion, great to see.

 

[Duck Off]

Good win. They got the #1 star right. Cogs was better player on the ice. I thought Kesler, Gibson, and Fowler were all terrific as well. Aside from Manson, I don’t think anyone was bad. Good win.

Got some fresh blood in the locker room, too.

Does Grant remind anyone else of Kip Miller? He should be a regular, how is he in the scratch rotation? Is he a jerk or something?

 

[ducks8]

Cogs was a monster this game

 

[McDonald19]

Kesler looks like he is finally getting back up to speed.

Funnily enough Manson gets the second star and Fowler is left out. I’m pretty sure it’s Hayward that picks them, what game was he watching?

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Cogs the punster. Our captain was out. It was a gutsy win.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Kesler looks like he is finally getting back up to speed.

I wonder how much of that was getting 4 days without a game, and how he will look playing every other day again.

 

[Static]

Also, not sure anyone saw the link but on TSN Scott Cullen chose gibson as his vezina pick. If he could stay healthy enough he would probably get more national coverage but nice to see him get recognized. Played a great game tonight as well.

I mean, it makes sense. Ducks would be in Arizona territory if not for Gibson's play especially in the first half. He's easily the MVP of this team this season
